The Europa League and Conference League have now set their semifinalists for the 2025/26 season.

All of the quarterfinal second-leg matches were played this Thursday (16), including two spectacular comebacks.

In the Europa League, Betis and Braga drew 1-1 in the first leg, played in Portugal.

Backed by their home fans, the Spanish side started strongly this Thursday’s match and went 2-0 up in less than half an hour, with Brazilian Antony getting on the scoresheet.

But Braga showed its ability to respond and scored four goals, making it 5-3 on aggregate.

Meanwhile, in the Conference League, Strasbourg was the team that produced a heroic night after losing 2-0 away to Mainz last week.

This Thursday, the French side found the net twice in each half and did not even need extra time to advance.
